What options does a illegal immigrant have after being charge with a DUI felony?

This is a standard amount to pay a bailbondsmen. There may be other ways of having your cousin released pending trial, but they may be difficult due to his immigration status. He needs to hire an attorney to help him resolve his criminal and immigration issues. Feel free to contact my firm.

There is another issue. Some may pay the DUI Bond. They later find out that there is what is called an immigration hold or detainer. We don't know how many times your cousin was convicted of crimes. These are unclear. You may not find out about an 'immigration hold' until after the bond is posted. However, it is wise to take action and contact an experienced immigration attorney, who concentrates in immigration law.

An attorney needs to know more facts in order to decide your cousin's options. If he pleads guilty, then it 'may' disqualify him from getting a green card, among other concerns. This is known; if he is convicted and sentenced to prison, then it is likely that the Department of Homeland Security will find out about him.
